I think R from EPEL 8 is missing a dependency on glibc-langpack-en or similar. Testing with the new CentOS 8 docker image:
docker run -it centos:8 bash And then in docker: yum install epel-release yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools yum install R-devel Installation succeeds but when I start R: During startup - Warning messages: 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 5: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C" 6: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C" 7: Setting LC_MEASUREMENT failed, using "C" Installing glibc-langpack-en fixes the problem. Took me a while to figure this out; I am guessing a lot of users will run into this. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Fedora mailing list R-SIG-Fedora@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora
